AudioRevolution.com's "Best Of 2002" List
The Best High-Performance Audio/Video Equipment You Can Buy
Ultimate Loudspeakers (Over $10,000) Category Winner – Revel Salon
MartinLogan Prodigy $10,995
Bryan Southard mandates that music and film enthusiasts interested for speakers anywhere near the $10,000 price range must audition the Martin Logan Prodigy before purchasing any other speaker – they are that good. Although there are issues to consider before purchasing this loudspeaker, the sonic performance is nothing short of magnificent.
Revel Salon $18,000 per pair
Bryan Southard recommends you look into Wilson WATT Puppy v6.0, Martin Logan Prodigys and B&Ws before you invest the $18,000 in a pair of revel Salons yet he voted with his economic ballot, making the Revel Salons his reference speaker – upgrading from the Revel Studio.
Revel Studio $9,995 per pair
Bryan Southard flipped for these speakers made by Madrigal, complete with the R&D and budget of Harman International, makers of JBL and Infinity. The Studios have a warmer sound, but are not as quick as the comparably-priced Wilson CUB IIs. The industrial design is excellent and the speaker is a fully integrated product that needs no stands.
